Let's see...

It happened at 10:42...

Luke 10:42 - "But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

John 10:42 - And many believed on him there.

The number 10 can represent perfection: Something that scores perfectly is "a perfect ten".

The number 42 is The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, according to Douglas Adams' series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Seems our long_lost_corleone is destined for some great things - perhaps even is The Key to the Universe !!

But then again, it happened on 01/24 - which is the exact opposite of both 10 and 42
